X1 E84 (2011 - current) The new to the US BMW X1 will arrive at BMW dealers in the fall of 2012 as a 2013 model year. Get your X1 28i with either sDrive (RWD) or xDrive (AWD) or get the US exclusive I6 N55 powered X1 35i dDrive.

Honestly, if the F31 was available in the states I would be very tempted. As it stands, BMW currently imports no station wagons.

I wouldn't mind having a bit of ground clearance on my secondary car - the E82 with sport suspension isn't really ideal for going camping and the F31 without sport suspension isn't a lot better - but that doesn't mean I want to sit five feet off the ground. I'm not going extreme offroading or anything, so a couple extra inches is plenty.
